This manga, by the writer and artist of Death Note, needs no introduction for some of you. For the rest: Bakuman revolves around two boys who want to realize their dream of becoming mangaka.
Summary
It's not easy to become and live as a mangaka, Mashiro knows that from his late uncle. At his 9th grade, while trying to keep up with reality, school and then normal job, he left his notebook with a sketch of Azuki, a girl he likes.
Takagi, a first rate student found it and trying to convince Mashiro to draw a manga with his story. Mashiro doesn't like the idea and tries to decline. Takagi, however, tries to stick to dream and found out that Azuki also wants to be a voice actress and already got a good reply from a production company.
Takagi, then, brought Mashiro to her house and telling her his dream.... Mashiro then tells her that he will write a manga with Takagi and will ask Azuki to voice their anime.
Out of confusion, Mashiro asks her if the dreams become reality, will she marry him? She says yes!, only if their dreams become true, and not otherwise!! Now, lifes of wannabe mangakas begin!!!
I love the plot!! This is one of my favorite manga of the year! The plot is full of energy that after I finished it, I just needed to get up and do some work rather than reading cartoons (haha).
The drawing is as beautiful as usually expect-able from Tsugumi Ohba sensei! Also, characters are amazing, similar to "Death note", characters are very smart!
